Technical Assistance Program
(TAP)
Grants for
New York State Teaching Artists,
Schools & Non-Profit Cultural
Organizations
TAP
supports the exchange of professional
expertise between New York State
schools and their cultural partners
to promote the continued growth
and improvement of long-term, in-depth
relationships centered on teaching
and learning in and through the
arts to benefit pre-K through 12th
grade children.
TAP
applications are reviewed in
cycles; the 2007- 08 deadlines
are: September 1, November
1, February 1, April 1,
and June 1.
Award
letters are sent within 3 weeks after
each deadline, subject to availability
of funds. Awards range from
$100 to $2,500.
Funding can be requested for technical
assistance to strengthen your arts-in-education
partnerships in the following categories:
Planning
and Capacity Building
Curriculum
Design
Assessment
and Evaluation
Professional
Development
Individuals,
NYS schools, school districts,
and non-profit cultural organizations
are eligible to apply. NYS teaching
artists who have been NYS residents
for one year previous to the application
deadline and are not matriculated
in a degree granting program are
also eligible to apply.
There
is a special CG-TAP
Grant specifically for attending
CommonGround. Do not use
the regular TAP application for
CommonGround expenses.
The
New York State Council on the Arts
(NYSCA) Empire State Partnership
(ESP) Arts in Education program is
the model by which we measure success. TAP
applications should address relevant
issues specific to integrating
arts into education programs
that benefit children. Preference
will be given to applicants that
provide matching support for
project costs.
TAP will NOT support:
-
staff
positions or projects that appear
to provide for staff positions;
- residency
projects that involve direct contact
between teaching artists and children;
- the purchase of equipment or
the production expenses for marketing
materials;
-
more than one TAP request
per applicant per year.
